Anyone read Verducci's latest piece?

Here ’tis in its entirety.

The part that got me angriest:

“The 2004-08 malaise left the Giants with an identity problem, which is to say they have none. Yes, the empty seats are a reflection of the economy, but they also reveal a decided disinterest so far in what the Giants have to sell. Come see us; we don’t stink as bad as the Nats and Bucs, is not the stuff of great marketing campaigns.

Who are the Giants? It’s a great question, especially in their own backyard. Yes, they have the scintillating Tim Lincecum, but he can pitch only about 16 times at AT&T Park. Otherwise, San Francisco doesn’t have a single player to keep a fan from making a run to the concession stand, rest room or, worse, home."

I disliked the part...

…where he cited the attendance of only 24,000 (on a cold Monday night in May) to back up his claim. The same night there were games in Cleveland (less than 15,000) and Arizona (less than 18,000). Only the Mets (40,000) did better. The Monday before, first place Toronto and Kansas City played before 15,000 and 21,000 home fans, respectively. The Rays drew less than 15,000 that night, Detroit 21,000, SD 15,000, Seattle 16,000. 19,000 in Atlanta. Just 11,000 in Florida. 14,000 in Washington. Less than 9,000 in Pittsburgh for the LOLrates.

Yankees, Cubs, and Dodgers all drew significantly bigger crowds that night. But they are, after all, in the three largest cities in the country.
